The latest in Gotham Knights news is the addition of the 4-player coop-mode Heroic Assault. In this Gotham Knights guide, we teach you how to play Heroic Assault mode, as well as the other new game mode that came with this update, the two-player boss rush mode, Showdown.

What is Heroic Assault

Heroic Assault is a new game mode that arrived in Gotham Knights, offering 30 floors of goons and baddies to beat which can be played with up to four players. Heroic Assault takes players beneath the depths of Gotham City and has them fight in dedicated arena-like environments, completing specific objectives for each floor. Players can earn rewards for completing each floor of Heroic Assault, including mods and crafting materials.

How to Unlock Heroic Assault Mode

Heroic Assault Mode is not available right after you start the game. Instead, the 4-player co-op game mode gets unlocked when you access Case File 05 in the main campaign. Unfortunately, unlocking Heroic Assault Mode will not allow players to group up in teams of four in the main campaign. This new game mode is a separate, stand-alone experience that does not affect the main campaign's progression.

How to access and play Gotham Knight's 4-player co-op game mode, Heroic Assault Mode

To play Heroic Assault Mode, follow these steps:

  1. Access Case File 05 in the main story
  2. After completing the corresponding mission, go back to the main menu
  3. Heroic Assault mode is accessible through the main menu
